Cricket stuff that doesn't deserve its own thread

[TheJediBrah]

wait you genuinely think Adam Goodes was booed because of his race?

 

[mr_mister]

Do you vote for the liberal party by any chance

 

[mr_mister]

I mean the narrative that he was actually being booed because 'he was a grub' is strange coz he won the best and fairest award for his clubseveral times

I'm not claiming to be an expert by any means, I haven't even been to an AFL game since I was about 12 years old, but that "narrative" is a lot more believable than the one where thousands of people are just booing the guy because he's indigenous

Usually just pick whichever one has the funniest name

Is it really that much of a stretch to believe footy fans could be racist diots. It was more than just a chorus of boos because he was aboriginal.

It was his perceived 'whinging' about racism in the sport, him getting a teenage girl evicted from a game for calling him an ape(he should have gone easier on her because she was a teenager apparently) and apparently just 'grubby behaviour' and 'bringing politics into the sport' by doing an aboriginal war dance after a goal once

It's really annoying to me that you would make a post like 'wait you actually believe this' and then proceed to admit you don't know much about the story. There's more to racism than throwing out n words

Warne is clearly no genius, but I just don't get how you get a guy saying: “No white boy could diss me in the sports and no get back diss look at this b***h still thinking about me give me 14 days with you wife turn her into Jamaican in 14 seconds mate none of yall knows me that simple means it’s my f***ing superior skin tone yall hate f*** you" when no one else is saying anything about race or skin colour and your first though is "Oh the other guy is probably racist"

Because a lot of people cling to narrative to absurd lengths

Because it's after a build up of Warne giving him **** for no reason? The same Warne who didn't see anything wrong with the Adam Goodes booing despite knowing the full story

During the 15/16 series while on commentary, Warne went on a huge on air tirade about Samuels coz he was standing in the field with his hands in his pockets. Called him stuff like lazy and a sign of him not wanting to be out there.

Like Warne tried to make it seem like it was just purely cricket based criticism but it came accross as really petty and weird like he was excited he had the chance to rip into Marlon

Or it's having all the info and making a judgement

I get your point that Warne might have done racist bogan things, but to conclude that this particular spat was probably because of racism makes little sense to me. It's clear to all that Marlon is a colossal dickhead and it's just far, far more likely Warne dislikes him because of that rather than anything to do with race. He's got nothing against any other black or brown cricketer afaik.

 

[mr_mister]

The line where Marlon said 'none of yall know me' struck a chord with me. I believe him and can absolutely understand why he feels he's been judged by Warne super prematurely

Or fitting it all into preconceived ideas. Particularly with regards to Warne, you do not know his racial attitudes: rather, your ideas and narrative are supplying 'information' when in there isn't any. A person may be a dickhead, and may be a bogan, and there may be people who combine this with also being racist, and you might say there is a correlation between the former and the latter, but in this case for this one individual you do not actually know that.

Dont think its a race thing, but Warne're response was almost as shitty as Samuels. He just goes 'youre a **** cricketer and an average human being'. Its more articulate than Malron's gibberish but just as immature.

 

[TheJediBrah]

lol Imma stop you right there. "for no reason"? You're clearly aware of all of Marlon Samuel's issues and the **** he's been saying, fights he's had over the years etc. but you're still sitting here deciding that Warne doesn't like him because of his race?

I mean come on m8. Warne's no angel and almost certainly treated him harshly on commentary but it's probably because he just doesn't like him because Samuels is a ****. So is Warne, obviously, but clearly from his tweets alone Samuels has real issues

 

[TheJediBrah]

So if you want to say Warne is a dickhead who was unprofessional on commentary, you have every reason. You'd be absolutely correct. But he's not the "racist" one in this scenario lol

Not even on the same planet, sorry.

Samuels said he'd **** Stokes wife until she turned Jamaican.

Warne said you're an average cricketer and human.

 

[mr_mister]

To you the only proof of racism is hurling n words. Real racism is a tad more subtle and can be soft and also be something Warne doesn't even realise he's doing. Your opinion on the Adam Goodes stuff is enough for me to know we think about this issue differently

In my opinion it all began in 2012 in that BBL game. And that Warne started it

Oof lol I missed that one jesus christ

 

[mr_mister]

It just so happens Warne has got into 3 feuds(over twitter and in person) with 3 high profile people of colour in recent times. Samuels, Goodes and Waleed

Just saying

 

[Daemon]

Hasn’t he had feuds with prior and waugh too recently
